I had been to numerous car dealerships, and was just fed up with fake smiles and salesmen that did not listen to me. One had actually flat out laughed at the cash I had on hand to purchase a car. I do not think 8k is something to laugh at. All were pushing me to finance, which I not only did not WANT to do, I am not in the position to do so.
After losing hope, I ran across Shift in autotrader. I was very skeptical, but knew I needed to take the chance. I am so happy I did!
I scheduled a test drive, and was called promptly by a man to finalize the appointment, and tell me who would be coming to meet me. The car was here on time, and the man that brought it was very nice, and relaxed. The first thing he wanted to do was point out anything the car had on it. ( a couple of minor dings), but made me realize he was honest. He was very patient with all of the questions I had, and in the end I placed a down payment to hold the car for a short time.
When I was ready to actually make the purchase, all I had to do was schedule a drop off, and once again someone called me right away and told me when they would be arriving, and the sale was made right there.
Please note, the cars are already marked down from the dealership price, so there is no haggling. But really, they are priced so well there is no reason to. I am very happy with my new car. I really (for the first time ever) enjoyed the purchasing experience.
I have already been referring this company to anyone who said they were shopping for cars. I will come to Shift before purchasing an automobile!

One of the most reliable car I have own

Excellent fun car that's affordable for the average person, sporty, fun, reliable. Can be modified at affordable price, There are many miata cob organizations in each states

Though I would have preferred it in white with a stick shift, this car really rocks. Super fast pick up, nice 'spicy mocha" heated leather seats that are really nice on the back, great stereo system and the retractable roof really sets it apart. The wheels are awesome.

Great service, competitive pricing, and I appreciate all the follow up after buying the car.

Lots of fun except when you need groceries!

Things I liked about my Miata RF
1) the RF roof was very cool! Every time someone saw it they thought it was really neat. I loved the way it looked/operated and as is true with most Miatas, I had the top open almost every trip I took!
2) The sports car feel, exhilaration and handling was second to none and I’ve owned a number of sports cars including Porsche Caymans and Jaguar F-Types. The Miata was a blast to drive.
3) The short throw transmission was a blast to drive. So much fun.
Things I didn’t care for
1) The power was lacking a bit. I think it’s time that Mazda consider a turbo on that engine to offer 175-200hp and that car would be a blast to drive.
2) Space. There is NONE. Since this was my daily driver I had to learn to live like a minimalist. There is NO storage to speak of inside the car (tiny glove box between seats) and the trunk is laughable. Can only fit about 3-4 grocery bags in back so plan accordingly.
3) Driving comfort is minimal, this car is purely for fun, sporty driving and if you have days where you’re just not into that you still have a stiff sport suspension.
The Pros and Cons were evenly weighted for me in owning this car so when the time came to trade it in, I wasn’t too heartbroken. I did LOVE the sunny days with the top down on curvy back roads and the radio cranking but I HATED being so cramped (I’m a 230lb Guy after all) and having no storage. The biggest deal breaker for me was the power- I always wished it had a bit more. I traded it in for an Audi TTRS
